I love your blog and the Cautic Cover Critic. I wanted to mention that he posted some really beautiful J. D. Salinger book covers with hand-drawn typography-- since shitty typography seems to generate lots of comments over here, I thought I'd post the link.

This is almost totally OT, but it's at least about a subway ad. All right, a London Underground ad. From 1992. Cast your mind back...

OK, it's a picture of a guy and a dog (I want to say Afghan hound) in a bathtub, facing one another, in profile. The dog's just looking at the guy, tongue hanging out as dogs will do. The guy has one arm at his side, the other reaching forward - you can't see enything below chest-level on guy or dog, but I certainly spent a lot of time wondering about where he was aiming his hand, there. It was... IIRC... a Smirnoff ad? Some text about "Love is blah blah blah." And I never. Figured it out. In months of standing across from it.
